EI economists Richard Shin and Gale Mosteller assist Ormco Corporation in patent infringement suit against Align Technology.

Richard Shin and Gale Mosteller assisted Ormco Corporation in its patent infringement suit against Align Technology. After the court had found Align guilty of infringement, EI analyzed Align’s opposition to a permanent injunction against infringing during the remaining term of Ormco’s patent. The permanent injunction would have enjoined Align from selling the Invisalign System until January 2010. Shortly after the submission of EI’s report in August 2009, the parties settled the entire lawsuit.
